[ssdivisiongermany1933]

I week ago I bought 1 TB western digital green but now It has started giving problem , both Harddisk senitel and Hdd re generator reports bad sector , should I rma the drive or keep working with bad sectors , the harddisk have become very slow and hanging .....

RMA it. ASAP. You need not live with one with bad sectors, given that it is so new and very much in warranty.

RMA it before its too late, if possible make a backup of the existing data

RMA is the best option. Why would you want to use it in this state anyway, given that data loss is imminent.
OT: Sad state of WD HDDs nowadays

well there was hardly any data in it ......well this is my third WD green going Kaput and RMA service also seems to be down for a while

well thanks for all useful inputs
